WEBVTT U-LOCAL @ KOAT.COM: We're getting tons of snow pics into our U-Local page at KOAT.com. This pooch is playing a little snow football after over a half-foot of snow in Roswell! It's kind of like America's Funniest Home Videos. You've got to guess what happens next. Upload your pics to our U-Local page at KOAT.com. VISIBLE SATELLITE: And...you can actually see that snow from space! This is the visible satellite or basically a video of clouds and snowcover from a satellite about 22-thousand miles above the earth's surface. I've outlined the snowcover in yellow. That's the grayish-white that's not moving. You can see it covers much of east New Mexico. The mountains don't look as white, because of the dense tree-cover. FRIDAY YOUR WEATHER: It's been a chilly day across New Mexico with temperatures now dropping into the 20s, 30s and 40s. At least we had lots of sunshine. EVENING PLANNER TONIGHT: Stepping out in Albuquerque tonight... bundle up! You'll want the coat, hat and gloves with temperatures dipping from the mid-30s at 6 pm to below freezing by 9 pm. Bring your pets inside too! WEEKEND WARM-UP!: The big story this weekend...the rebound to Spring-like temperatures. Check out the highs tomorrow and then for Sunday. Temperatures near-60 for Carlsbad and Silver City...with 40s and 50s from Farmington to Santa Fe, Raton and Albuquerque. Expect lots of sunshine too. MONDAY FUTURETRACK: Expect a change with increasing clouds across southern New Mexico and even a chance of some rain showers. Temperatures remain warmer than normal. TONIGHT & TOMORROW: SOUTHEAST: Another cold start gives way to a mild afternoon with temperatures warming from the 40s into the 50s from Ruidoso to Roswell and Carlsbad. That'll melt off some of that snow. SOUTHWEST: You'll set those coats aside by the afternoon from Silver City to Socorro, T or C, Lordsburg, Deming and Las Cruces as temperatures reach the 40s and 50s under bright skies. There will be a slight breeze, however. NORTHWEST: Another bitter breakfast...don't forget to bring those pets inside for cold nights. Temperatures rebound impressively by afternoon... reaching the 40s with lots of sunshine too. NORTH CENTRAL: A frigid first for the north and Santa Fe... but better by the afternoon. Temperatures top out from the upper-30s to the 40s. Expect bright skies and occasional breezes, especially near the mountains. A great skiing weekend! NORTHEAST: After a cold start...a cool and bright afternoon with temperatures topping out in the 40s to near-50 from Raton to Las Vegas, the East Mountains, Edgewood, Moriarty and Santa Rosa. Only a slight breeze. METRO: The Albuquerque Metro will shiver early too. But...those bright skies will boost temperatures to more bearable levels by the afternoon...reaching the mid-40s to near-50 from Bernalillo, Rio Rancho to Los Lunas and Belen. TONIGHT: Another cold night with a few high clouds. Bring the pets inside. Lows from the teens in the Valley to the low-twenties in the Heights. 7-DAY FORECAST: Temperatures warm through the weekend and even into early in the new week. We'll see a slight chance of rain or snow showers with that weak system Monday night into Tuesday. Perhaps another system could bring showers by week's end.

Weekend weather: Sunny Sunday expected
